yes... I am confused on what I saw... each female seemed to care for their fry at the right time, in quiet separate moments. But obviously something is not going well. I will try to find out what, having in mind all of your comments. Thanks a lot!
May be males need a little time to learn...hope so! On the other hand, I had that Nijsseni male who chased away the mother and took control of parenthood all the way long till the fry was out of danger.
In the borelli case it looks like females fight and fight, chasing him away until they get...
Yes Mike. Is it possible that females eat the fry of the others? Curiously it is like there is each day a little less fry from each female and then, ops, they are gone...
How many times a day do you advice to feed fry, either with microworms, BBS or both?
thank you so much!
Thank you, Gerald and Mike.
I feed the tank with Panagrellus. But this time, in view of the difficulty, I also started to feed newly hatched artemia as well (hating it). My former male (the father of these Borelliis) was the kindest with her female… I raised many little ones from different...
Hi all
I have a Borellii male and three females. Two of them were caring for fry one after the other. No fry survive more than two weeks. It happens twice to the biggest female, and once to the second female. The third one is guarding eggs right now. I thought first that the biggest female...
Hi All!

Hi Gerald! This is the only kind of decent picture of a male that I have. There were very few males, mostly females (probably because of the high pH of my water I guess). I kept two, the one on the picture which died a few months ago and a second one which is small and poorly colored. Still...
hi Gerald. This is one of my NijssenixBaenschi hybrids...I still have several... she is one of the largests. one spot on the right and two on her left side, plus red lines in her caudal and anal fins.
Hi René. They were originally five, then three fry got to adulthood. Although they were not many, indeed, (I stiil have them, they are strong!) they are a nightmare... they are all by themselves now. Somebody gave them to mee, obviously I didnt know so I accepted them. the phantoms did figft...
